Call for Papers

International Conference on Advances in Big Data, Computing and Data Communication Systems (ICABCD 2019) is a premier conference in the soft computing and communication systems. ICABCD 2019 is to be held at the Drakensberg Resort, Winterton, KZN, South Africa, during 5-6 August 2019. The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from all over the world working on soft computing, big data technologies, data communication systems and computer security on a common platform so that they can present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in these highly challenging research fields. All accepted and registered papers will be submitted for potential inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library, provided they meet IEEE quality standards. All papers will be double-blind reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
